I'd like to start an awesome band

I have 4 songs written in the "heavy rock" genre ( to be as general as possible )

Each with 2 or more guitar parts, bass, drums, and vocals

Sometimes it's yer blues based big rock songs

Sometimes it's weird exotic scales

Sometimes it has chromatic licks sliding about

I like odd time signatures and cool scales and sounds that I'm NOT used to hearing

But I like simple music too,

It's about the emotional charge really

I like vocal harmonies also

But anything goes as long as it is original ( and awesome )

I'm not hard to get along with but I cannot be doing with:

* selling badges, cds, or sex on Regent Quays

* trying to have an "image"

* making a myspace page before anything else

* playing gigs while we sound like shit because we have no patience

* playing gigs and sounding like another band because we nicked all the riffs

( and I didn't really want to include this but I think it'll suitably discourage anyone who keeps their finger in their bum for inordinate amounts of time from replying )

I care only about the actual music!

Looking especially for a good singer, male or female

I'm looking for people who would have no problem learning these tunes, and who feel crazy and confident enough to write some more decent original music.

Influence include:

Turbonegro

Miles Davis

Soundgarden

Squarepusher

Aphex Twin

Dead Can Dance

Sunny Day Real Estate

Kiss

Darkthrone

Tool

Mars Volta

Future Sounds Of London

Anal Beard

Nine Inch Nails

Tom Waits

Both our newest songs have high vocals parts that I find hard to sing. Also it would be great to write new songs with you if you are a good singer. It's equal parts sisters of mercy, NIN and drum n bass!

Here is the second newest, as the newest is not recorded yet. MySpace.com - LabAnimal - Aberdeen, UK - Industrial / Punk / Drum & Bass - www.myspace.com/labanimalab . The vocals are done in octaves, and the songs in a weird sort of middle-eastern scale at points, which we tried to get sounding alll phat, since the bass is super loud and theres octave guitars too.

But it took a lot of sherry to get my voice to go that high. Anyway, I don't really know! It probably doesn't work so well, considering we're not famous people.

Anyways if working with this sort of thing and writing new stuff interests you, you should get in touch!

One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning

Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I'm not turning

I'm headin for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains

So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright

Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night

Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day

On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees

Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legs

And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs

The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay

Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow

Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks

And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks

The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind

There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too

You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin

And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in

There ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks

I'm a goin to stay where you sleep all day

Where they hung the jerk that invented work

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

I'll see you all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Hello

What is wrong with cyber euphoric grey dance matter these days?! It's as if the glittering sensation of togetherness had never begun! Perhaps so but besides this sort of inane bollocks does anyone like acid break-beats on here?

Greetings!

I'm looking to form/join a band in Aberdeen

I used to play with Rectal Examination ( can there ever be too much cider? )

My flat mates and I record weird music on a laptop, a song is at http://www.myspace.com/labanimalab . Strange how things get?

I play guitar

Reply and stuff if you're interested! I'll get back to you

Peace
